Where's Your Elf on a Shelf?

I'm not going to lie, I so wish we had housed an Elf on a Shelf way back with my son, Ian, was little.  This game of having him pop up all over the house would have been right down my alley.  I'm also sure that I would have been the mom up at 2 am trying to stage the perfect appearance for the little guy and Ian would have looked at it for all of five seconds.  #momproblems

If you are already out of ideas and it's only day 3, here's some help for you.  Since every mama needs a little help with time of year, I've collected a few ideas to get your through until Christmas.

This first one comes from Steph Moore over at A Little Moore Blog.  Pop over and visit her blog for more fun ideas.

The Bounty Club posted this handy calendar on facebook.  Most of these are done with items you actually have in your house so you can pull them off at the last minute.

Next up is Jamielyn's top 50 ideas.  You can visit her at I Heart Naptime.

What's your favorite Elf on a Shelf idea?  After all this inspiration, I might just have to get an Elf and start this tradition for my husband Eric.  Who says this fun game has to just be for the kids?!?
